In your example, you use a *pair* of two numbers to specify the vertical
positions because there is a dot in between the numbers:

  (0 . 5)

This seems to make sense because you want to position _two_ staves
relative to each other. However, the syntax also makes sense with three
or more staves, which is why lilypond interprets the given argument as a
*list*. Therefore if you remove the dot and write the argument as a
*list* of two objects, like this:

  (0 5)

then it works like a charm.

D'oh!

Perfect. Thanks, Max!

At-home example:

%%% BEGIN %%%

\version "2.11.20"

\new GrandStaff <<
  \new Staff { c'4 }
  \new Staff {
     \clef bass
     \overrideProperty "Score.NonMusicalPaperColumn"
     #'line-break-system-details #'((alignment-offsets . (0 -5)))
     g'4
  }


%%% END %%%
